Hiking

The skills you learn on even the shortest hike can help you on journeys of any length:

• The clothing you use for hiking is the same you;ll need for camping and backpacking.
• The Scout Outdoor Essentials you carry are the items you'll also take each time you set out for the backcountry.
• No-trace methods you use to protect the trails will allow you to care for campsites, too.
• Atrip plan is important for an afternoon walk, and also for a weeklong wilderness trek.
